Title: An Improved Electrolytic Cell.
Inventor: FLOOD JOSEPH FRANCIS
Filed: 1909-07-08
Granted: 1910-07-08
Abstract: 15,960. Flood, J. F. July 8. Liquid-electrode apparatus; cells.-In apparatus applicable for the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution, the cathode consists of a mercury or other liquid jet or spray which is projected over the stationary wall of the electrolytic cell into a separate receptacle. This receptacle may surround a circular electrolytic cell having an anode at its centre, or may be placed as shown between two electrolytic cells 3, each having an anode 6 of carbon or graphite. The walls 4 over which the liquid is projected from insulating pipes 5 slope as shown. Gaseous products are separated by partitions 8 on a cover 7, which dip into the liquid and fit in grooves in the walls of the cells. The cover may have glazed peep-holes. The cell may be made of earthenware or artificial slate. When brine is electrolyzed, caustic solution is withdrawn continuously from the vessel 2, which is supplied with water. A light liquid may cover the electrolyte and the water. The apparatus may be heated.

Abstract: 16,435. Davenport, C.. and Goode, T. C., [trading as Asbton & Co., D.], and Anderson, H. R. July 14. File blanks, treating.-A machine for grinding round or half-round files, either parallel, taper, or curved, is constructed so that the files can be fixed in holders on an hexagonal frame placed on each side of the grindstone with the axes of the files parallel with the axis of the grindstone, and at intervals circumferentially thereto, the surfaces of a number of files being thereby ground at the same time. The grindstone a is mounted on a rotating shaft b which is movable axially in bearings in the standards d. Mounted on a sleeve on the shaft and adjacent to the bearings are hexagonal frames or carriers c, each having six screwed spindles h projecting therefrom. The carriers are provided with locking-devices f by means of which they may be kept stationary. Each screwed spindle h is secured in a bevel pinion carried in the frame c and engaging a bevel-wheel mounted on a sleeve on the shaft b; this pinion may be rotated through bevel-gearing by the hand-wheel u. The spindles carry nuts i, spring-pressed inwards and each carrying a bracket connected to the corresponding bracket on the other side of the grindstone by a rod k. The rods carry hangers l in which are inserted bushes, in one end of which is formed a recess to receive the pointed ends or tangs of the files to be ground, and at the other end of which is a small pulley o by which the carrier with the file is rotated. The pulleys o are driven by a rope w from a counterweighted pulley w<1>. The carrier frame may be rotated to facilitate the insertion of the files, and is then locked in position while the rotating files are grouod by the grindstone b, which receives an axial reciprocating movement from a driver y<2> engaging rotating screws y.

The finger has a pin r to engage a spring s, so bent as to throw the finger forward and quickly bring the next digit to the reading-aperture. A detent spring u positions the disks properly. The zeroizing- lever f has a pin w to depress the detent spring u so as to allow a spring to zeroize the disks simultaneously with the zeroizing of the dial hand by the heart cam c and roller c. A tooth is omitted on the pinion l, so that. on attaining the maximum reading, it does not engage the finger y. Instead of a coiled spring, a heart cam may be employed to zeroize the disks &c.

Abstract: 21,187. Farrow, J. Sept. 26. Pneumatic separating ; separating by mechanical pickers.-A pneumatic picker for separating and sorting grain, pulse, beans, &c. is provided with a subsidiary draught-controlling member. As shown in Fig. 1, the spring-pressed nozzle b telescopes into the tube a and has gaps c through which the air passes until the tube a is pressed down and the spring d compressed. The spring abuts against an internal annular collar e on the tube and against a flange f at the upper end of the nozzle. A washer g takes up shock when the body a is pressed down on the nozzle. Fig. 2 shows the nozzle t with internal springs r surrounding rods s which are fixed to the nozzle and pass through guides v on the picker u. The telescoping part z of the nozzle may be either conical or cylindrical. The draught at the nozzle is not strong enough to pick up a pea &c. until the springs are compressed and the opening at the bottom of the tube u closed. In another modification, in which the tube and nozzle are in one piece, a pivoted valve q, Fig. 3, is arranged in the tube and the bent end k of its pivot-pin p is connected to a spring-pressed rod k<1> which passes through a guide n.
